Covariant cascade in momentum space • Consider N particles with four momenta • {pi,i=1,..,N} • 2. Choose randomly a pair (i,j) • 3. Perform elastic collision pi+pj= p’i+p’j • 4. Repeat the procedure (back to 2). After a large number of collisions, the system eventually thermalizes. ISMD 07 Berkeley

Conclusion • For relativistic Brownian motion, we have intrinsically multiplicative noise • Due to the finite time span dt (coarse graining), the Lorentz transformation properties of Langevin equation is not trivial. • Depending on the interaction scheme, we have to be careful for the descretization scheme. • Cascade type process -> existence of a natural integration scheme. • We expect that such an approach will clarify non-equilibrium effects in hydrodynamic approach (which also requires a finite size coarse graining in space-time).
